Studies on Coronary Arteriopathy in Dogs Following Administration of CI-1020, an Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist
2001
A selective nonpeptide endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist, CI-1020, was administered to beagle dogs intravenously (iv) for 4 hours to 4 weeks. One animal/sex received CI-1020 at 1 mg/kg/hr intravenously for 4, 8, or 24 hours to investigate onset of arteriopathy. Control animals (1/sex) received the vehicle only. To determine reversibility of arteriopathy, 8 dogs/sex were given CI-1020 at 1 mg/kg/hr for 4 days. Two dogs/sex were sacrifi ced 1, 3, 8, and 29 days following cessation of infusion. Lesion development with prolonged exposure was investigated in 1 male dog. It was given CI-1020 by iv bolus at 120 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks and Monastral blue dye was administered iv to facilitate localization of vascular lesions. Coronary blood fl ow was determined in 4 dogs infused with CI-1020 at 0.3, 3, and 30 mg/kg for one hour at each dose. Macroscopically, hemorrhage or blue discoloration of Monastral blue was noted in the extramural coronary arteries along the coronary groove and atrium. Histologically, the ...
